I will hang an air purifier from the ceiling in my garage (cast slab on metal profile) and would like to learn about the available fastening methods and their load capabilities.
I guess for this, ordinary screw eyes in plugs will do, but I would like to know more because it is not intuitive for me what is required since the load is in the direction of the hole.
Preferably concise and written so that any dummy, read me, can understand it.

Hello,
there are so many tables that it's difficult to give you a "general" one.
If I understand you correctly, you are going to attach something to a concrete slab?
How many attachment points do you have?
As an example, a plug of the correct length at 8mm in diameter can provide a tensile load of 250 kg... on a screw, that is.
This assumes that the material and attachment are perfect.
Since I gather that you are going to attach a somewhat heavy device, I think one should go with 10mm, but it's difficult to advise without knowing the exact conditions.
But, concrete is nice to attach things to
With the reservation that I may have misunderstood the question...

As I read the document, it is when fastening to the wall. I assume there is a difference between wall and ceiling.
I'm not too worried about this particular fastening, four points and less than 50kg, but I want some confirmation that I shouldn't be worried and also for future reference.
